Icefields Parkway first week in June
Other than the road itself, will the area around the parkway be pretty much snow covered during the first week in June? Will we be able to do anything other than just drive through?

If you hike, bring waterproof knee-length gaiters -- they shed the snow and keep your boots dry. If there is any ice, we also carry microspikes, which are like crampons but much easier to put on and take off.
If you have never been to Banff and Jasper and Lake Louise, you have to see it to believe it. Astonishingly beautiful.
